Abstract

A method and information processing system facilitate debugging of a multi-threaded application. A control program request associated with at least one thread of a process that has been designated for debugging is generated. The control program request is placed into a memory buffer associated with the thread by the debugger. The memory buffer is passed to a control program. A plurality of memory buffers is monitored. Each memory buffer in the plurality of memory buffers is associated with a different thread of the process. At least one memory buffer in the plurality of memory buffers is determined to include debugging event information from the control program determining. The debugging event information is processed. The processing includes at least one of notifying a user of the debugging event information and generating at least one control program request for a thread associated with the at least one memory buffer.
